Centered
You say it's a mystery,
but it's so plain to see
That I'm just wasting my time
You know you've a lot to learn,
so tired of being burned
When your whole world falls out of line

You've been doing too much thinkin' bout it
Trying to find a point of view
I've been searching for a way around it
Maybe we should just move through

The crash of the dawn awakes,
all of your past mistakes
When none of the pain has been revealed
The flame of your torch burns true,
but doesn't create anew
All of the innocence concealed

Treading lightly won't reduce the payload,
the price is due up in the end
To break your back won't suffer any martyr,
or will the world to condescend

(Break)

Walking along that road,
watching the dream unfold
Move to the right you're out of line
History teaches few,
only provides a clue
Head to the left, you're out of time

Keeping firmly to the center leads you,
merrily longer on the way
Sideways dangers push us forward, blinder
What cost freedom for today...
